Torus Power AVR Series Power Conditioners - User Notes and Manual Placement and ventilation Allow 1 distance on all sides when positioning the AVR for proper ventilation, and allow 6 behind the AVR for adequate wiring space. Do not place heat-generating devices directly below the AVR. Connecting components and using the AVR Using the AVR is as simple as plugging in audio and video components to the outlets on the rear panel. The order and position in which you connect your components will not affect the performance of the AVR or your components. Connect the AVR to the wall outlet, and switch it on. Turn on the components individually. While the AVR has built-in software that can be accessed via the Ethernet connection, there is no need for you to use this software. The AVR system provides all the standard features, performance, and benefits out of the box by simply plugging it in as described in this section. You can use the AVR software to monitor the voltage conditions via your computer, and for such additional features as being able to turn your system on/off remotely and change the duration of displays backlight. Torus AVR Description Torus Power AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) is a full-feature state-of-the-art power conditioner, isolating and protecting your system. Like all Torus Power products, the AVR series provides true isolation (using massive toroidal transformers) and protects all connected equipment from the risk of severe power line surges using series-mode surge suppression. In addition, Torus AVR provides stable voltage to keep equipment running in the optimal range of 115VAC to 125VAC for any input voltage from 90V to 130VAC. (International units operate within nominal input voltage such as 220V, 230V, 240V; Torus AVR keeps them operating within a range of +/- 10V.). See table on page 7 for more details. Torus Power AVR series uses a micro-processor to monitor and control the power provided to connected components. The front panel display on the Torus Power AVR indicates input and output voltages, and displays output current, as well as displaying fault conditions. The Torus Power AVR is pre-programmed to power down the system when a high or low fault conditions occurs (user can over-ride). There are multiple interfaces built into the Torus Power AVR: 1) Ethernet interface with built-in web browser allows any computer to view voltage and current readings and turn the AVR unit on or off. 2) RS-232 is provided for connection to media control systems. 3) Two 12V triggers are provided. Does your system need automatic voltage regulation? Under ideal conditions, when the supplied power line is stable and dependable, you may not need voltage regulation. In such an ideal situation, your equipment can operate within the normal tolerance of the line voltage. In reality, the power supplied to most areas is less than ideal due to 0utdated power grids. In most areas, the power regularly drops or rises above the acceptable range (in North America +/ 5V, Europe/Asia/Australia +/- 10V). These voltage sags, brownouts, and surges can stress components and shorten equipment life. In the worst case, catastrophic events can destroy valuable equipment. In such real-world conditions, Torus Power AVR can protect your equipment, and improve the quality and enjoyment of your audio and video experience. Page 3

Rear Panel Connections and AVR Software Figure 1: AVR Rear Panel connections. Ethernet Allows access to the AVR and internal software. See AVR Software section for more details. RS232 Allows access to automation and external control. See Home Automation Interface commands at end of manual. 12V Trigger On/Off The AVR can be turned on and off by a 12 volt trigger input. Applying 12 volts turns on the AVR and removing the 12 volts turns it off. 12V Fault Output The AVR provides a 12 volt fault output through a jack on the back panel. The output goes to 12 volts when a relay or voltage fault is detected. The maximum current that can be drawn from this output is 75mA. AVR Software AVR software is resident in the microprocessor on the internal control board. There are two methods to access the software. 1) Connect the AVR to the Ethernet port. Open a browser window on a PC that is connected to the same network through another Ethernet port. Enter AVR (or the I.P address displayed on the LCD) into the browser window. Press ENTER and the software will open. 2) Use a three way Hub, which is connected to an existing network. You then connect both PC and AVR to the same Hub. Open a browser window from the PC. Type AVR, (or the I.P address displayed on the LCD) into the browser window. Press ENTER and the software will open. Username and Password The password is required to change the setup of the Torus unit. Username is admin This is factory set and cannot be changed Password is avr This is the default password, and can be changed. In case you forget your password, the AVR can be restored to the factory default password avr by pressing and holding the button on the front panel for at least 10 seconds. Page 5

AVR Software - Menu Selections AVR Menu Selections AVR Status Switch Power Setup Email Configuration Set Password Torus Power Home (website) Network configuration Below is a screen by screen description of software options. To access AVR software, enter user name and password. User name : admin is factory set and cannot be changed Default Password : avr You can change your password. Select Set Password AVR Status This screen indicates the overall status of the system, showing Voltage In, Voltage Out, and Current output. It also reports if the system is functioning normally or whether there is a fault condition. AVR Power Control This screen allows ON or OFF control of the AVR unit. Press SET button to implement your selection. Page 6

AVR Software - Menu Selections (continued) AVR Setup This screen allows the user to configure two AVR parameters. 1. Shutdown on Low or High line voltage. (The factory default is YES to shut down in case of fault conditions.) Unselecting this button will override, and the AVR will remain on even if voltage drops or rises beyond the acceptable range. 2. LCD Display. Always ON is the defaultsetting. Ifyoudon twantthe display on all the time, you can select a time from 0 to 255 seconds. When you have made your selections, press SAVE SETUP. Email Fault Alert Notification In the unlikely event your AVR experiences an issue the AVR will shut downandsendanemailnotificationif this section is configured. After entering the configuration parameters use the Send Test Email button to confirm your settings are correct. Set Password If you wish to change the password, use this screen. In case your forget your new password, you can restore the AVR to factory default password by pressing the button on the front of the AVR unit and HOLDING it down for at least 10 seconds. The default password is avr Page 7

AVR Software - Menu Selections (continued) Each AVR unit has a unique MAC Address which is factory assigned. The IP address assigned to the AVR is dynamically assigned and is displayed on this screen as well as on the front panel LCD of the AVR. TheAVRcanbeprogrammedthrough the web browser to automatically get an IP address from the network switch or routerandthisisthedefaultsetting andshouldworkonmostnetworks. Some networks require each PC or device to use a fixed IP address and the AVR also supports this option. Notes: 1. The output current (Amps) displayed on the LCD is the RMS reading of the load. It does not indicate the peak current loads. 2. There is a 20-second delay built into the AVR system, to prevent nuisance switching. The AVR will take approximately 20-seconds to change relay taps to switch to the proper output voltage setting. 3. Torus AVR will keep the output constant within the range of 220-240V ± 10V, with an input voltage of 170V to 270V. 4. A drop in the Input voltage is normal when increasing the load on the Torus AVR. This is a result of the impedance of the power line, and is a function of the distance from the electrical panel. Switch On Delay Feature The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) feature is designed to handle normal utility fluctuations to provide the connected equipment with an optimal voltage supply. It is common when utility power is restored after a blackout that the voltage supply is unstable for a few seconds. To further protect connected equipment your AVR is equipped with a start up delay feature. When the power switch is turned on or when the power switch is on and utility power is restored, power will not be connected to the output receptacles until the delay time has passed. Page 8
